Reality is SO inconvenient

The Office of Manpower Economics (nope, I’d never heard of it before either) reckons that real pay in the public sector fell by 3.1% between 2005 and 2015. The fall in the wealth-creating private sector was 6.1% and, thanks to Gordon Brown’s tax and waste, pensions are few and far between in the private sector, unlike the public sector. Which means that increasing taxes on the wealth-creators to benefit the public sector just increases unfairness. Not a concept which troubles the Labour party and the public-sector trade unions, though.
